🤣🤣!
In all seriousness Water is Life. We need to drink more of it everyday. Don’t drink the dirty kind though. Try to drink clean water so you don’t get sick. .
Personally, starting today until Steve’s Birthday which is in June 21st, I will not partake any kind of alcoholic drink 🤨😜🧐🤔... During this time I will be learning about different water, bottles, and water filters that are sold in the market. I will be doing tons of Water Testing 😌. I plan to drink more of natural coconut water (from actual coconut) and also create my own infused water recipes from home. If you are into drinking water irresponsibly, please join me in this. I think it will be so much fun and feel free to share your favorite water you buy, water filters, infused water recipes, cool bottles and anything related to water
Please keep on drinking water irresponsibly.

Hello Bluefam.
How has our week been?
How is your the weekend going?
We will be rounding off our discussion on Hemorrhoid/Pile today. We will ne discussing its TREATMENT and PREVENTION.
Pile can be treated or easily taken care of using homemade remedies if there are no complications or underlying health problems.
The following measures can reduce the symptoms of pile and help treat it : ✍ cold compress - this helps relieve the anus of pains and swelling. ✍ analgesics - these are oral pain reliever. They help reduce pajn and swelling. ✍ sitz bath - sitting in warm water for 10-15 mins three times a day helps reduce and heal pile. ✍ high fibre food - this helps to avoid irritating the hemorrhoid by straining to stool. E.g. oats and fruits. ✍ topical creams and suppositories - E.g. Anusol ointments, anusol HC etc. They are very effective in the treatment of pile. They can be gotten over the counter. ✍ wash your anus with warm water and avoid using dry toilet paper to prevent irritation or bleeding of the pile.
Sometimes, when the hemorrhoid is persistently painful and uncomfortable, it may require minimal invasive procedures. The common ones are : ✍ rubber band ligation - here 2 rubber bands are placed at the base of the internal hemorrhoid to stop blood from circulating there which causes it to dry and fall off. ✍ sclerotherapy - it shrinks the hemorrhoid when a chemical substance is injected in the hemorrhoid. ✍ coagulation - is the use of infrared light.
In cases when Hemorrhoid is large and bleeding is persistent, more invasive procedures are required.
These are the common ways of getting rid of Pile.
I will be discussing the prevention in my next post.

🏄🏽‍♀️DAY 4: MOVE
Make it your number 1 priority to FEEL GOOD and BE STRONG - mentally and physically - so you can MOVE without pain and DO all the wonderful things you want to do in your life.
How do we FEEL GOOD and STRONG? MOVE, MOVE, MOVE and MOVE some more!
Get out and do as many different kinds of movement as you can: walk, run, dance, twist, lift, squat, stretch, leap!
Do what you enjoy, mix it up and include:
1) CARDIO: walk, dance, run, swim, HIIT - great for your heart and lungs, and burns body fat
2) WEIGHTS or body weight training: essential to maintain muscle mass and bone density (and avoid osteoperosis), as well as reducing body fat (you use energy to build muscle and then the muscle itself burns energy too)
3) PILATES: to keep your body balanced, toned and strong through all your muscle groups
What if I’m injured? Everybody has an injury, imbalance, niggle or pain. Don’t let it be an excuse to STOP moving. See a good physio for advice on how to address the problem AND keep moving in the meantime.
So TODAY, get out there and MOVE YOUR BUTT!

🌙Day 3: SLEEP
Not getting enough sleep is a serious health risk!
Getting a good sleep makes a massive difference in keeping your shit together.
Lack of sleep contributes to ageing appearance and physical and mental health problems, as well as weight gain.
In addition, most women in their mid-40s experience problems getting to and staying asleep. The demands of a busy life can make switching off hard. And midlife declines in oestrogen and progesterone levels affect sleep patterns: low oestrogen can cause night sweats and lower magnesium levels, which make it more difficult to fall asleep. Low progesterone makes it harder to fall and stay asleep.
What to do? 🌙First of all recognise sleep as a priority and a pleasure! 🌙Next: cut sugar and caffeine, definitely after 4pm. Skip the wine. (Yes you can and it WILL change your sleep.)
🌙Commit to a ‘sleep routine’: set an alarm for 930pm telling you to slowly power down - screens OFF
🌙Chill out: open the window to keep your room cool
🌙Train: just like a baby, you can ‘sleep train’ yourself! If you just keep going to bed at about the same time you will get into the habit of falling asleep and staying asleep. It just takes a bit of time
🌙Eat: if you do keep waking between 3-4am it might be due to a blood sugar crash, so try eating a small high protein snack just before bed: cottage cheese or peanut butter on a cracker/rice cake, greek yogurt with a few nuts/seeds, cherries, almonds or half a banana. Don’t worry you won’t ‘gain weight’ in the night - your metabolism will still be working!
🌙Supplements can help: magnesium and calcium to start, also vitamin D and Bs. Also explore herbal remedies like the Bach Rescue Sleep Remedy, holy basil (for stress), passion flower or good old chamomile tea.
Sweet dreams!

💧DAY 2: #DrinkWater
Today is SO easy!!! Drink more water = feel much better!
Why? Better digestion, better sleep, more energy, clearer thinking 👍🏻 Aim to drink about 8 glasses of water a day (about 2.5l). Yes you will pee more. (By the way your pee should be light to medium yellow, or clear.) (If you avoid drinking water because you are worried about ‘urgency’ or leaking, that is NOT OK and you CAN address this - ask me!) How? ☀️Drink a whole glass of water or a mug of hot water first thing every morning (unlike coffee it will make you LESS crabby!)
🥤Buy a couple of new eco water bottles and always have one with you: in the car, in your bag, on your desk
⏰Set an alarm your phone to remind you to drink a large glass of water about 11am and about 3pm
🍋Add (frozen) lemon slices, mint or cucumber to your water
🍶Get involved with herbal tea: once you get over the initial shock they are strangely addictive!

FIVE DAYS, 5 steps to FEEL GOOD!
It’s no secret that to feel good we need to eat right, exercise, sleep well and manage stress. And we need to do these things ‘by habit’: they become our normal, almost second nature. That way they no longer require the illusive ‘willpower’: we just do them.
Over the next 5 days I’ll share my 5 key steps to feel good habits:
